The committee met in the civil service committee room, inthe dark depths of the basement. The meeting was held with closed doors and was not long.

The President’s message returning without his approval a bill for the relief of William R. Wheaton and Charles H. Chamberlain, who had been register and receiver of the land office at San Francisco prior to 1877, to pay them the salaries of two clerks to the amount of $3,800, was presented and read. The bill and message were referred to the committee on public lands. ME. FRYE’S CREDENTIALS. The credentials of Mr. Frye for the senato- rial term of six years from March 4 next were presented by Mr. Hale, read, and placed on file. THE TARIFF BILL. The Senate, at 11:30, resumed consideration of the tariff bill, the pending question being on the amendment reported from the finance com- mittee, allowing a bounty of 1 cent per pound on sugar produced from beets, sorghum, and sugar cane grown in the United States. OPPOSED TO THE SUGAR BOUNTY. Mr. Reagan opposed the amerfdment, and ex- pressed his surprise that the bounty was not also to be extended to maple sugar. He com- mented ppee Mr. Plumb’s support of the bill in which he said (quoting Thos. H. Benton) “the west and south are recognized in its burdens not in its benefits.” He had been astonished to see Senators on the other side, who represented agricultural communities, compelled, by party exigency and party disci- pline, to support a measure which distinctly and clearly sacrificed the interests of the states which they represented. He proceeded to quote against the proposed bounty Judge Cooley's work “‘on constitutional limitation,” but was reminded by Mr. Spooner of a decision in the Michigan courts (afterwerd affirmed b: the Supreme Court of the United States) hoid- ing that a bounty on salt was constitutional. fied against his position was turned by Mr. Reagan with an observation that Senators on the other side could always find arguments to justify the plunder of other Senator’s con- stituents for the benefit of their own, A BILL OF ROBBERY. He spokeof the attempt to pass what he called a “bill of robbery” as a “fine frolic;” but he warned republican Senators that they had sixty milliéns of people behind them ob- serving their actions. He calculated last year’s roduce of American sugar at 290,000 “hoge- heads, or 5,800,000 pounds, the bounty on which would amount to 580.000; and he asked what price was to be paid to Io nd Kansas under the proposed bounty system to justity the violation of the constitution and the adop- tion of a most pernicious policy. Would not the ‘ayes of diese United States, he asked, thin! at they ought to “‘sell fora better price?” MR. MITCHELL QUESTIONS MR. REAGAN. Mr. Mitchell—The Senator speaks of the pro- tective system as not only robbery, but un- constitutional, Does he endorse the Mills bill? Mr. Reagan—If the Senator wants to known whether Iendorse all the items in the Mills bill I say, unhesitatingly that there are many items in it which I do not approve, but I very greatly prefer it, as a bad bill, to the still worse bill of the Senate. Mr, Mitchell—Does the Senator endorse that provision of the Mills bill that puts a tax of 60 per cent on sugar. Mr. Reagan—I do not know that Ido. I do not believe that the duty on sugar should be as high as it is under the existing law. Ido not believe that the duty on rice should be as high as under existing law. I would not take entire duty off wool, nor off lumber. I would take the Mills bill rather than let the present law stand, or rather than have the Senate sub- stitute passed. NOT HENRY CLAY. Mr. Reagan proceeded to read some extracts from a speech which he supposed to have been made by Henry Clay, but which turned out to have been made after Mr. Clay’s death, and by a namesake of his from Alabama, Mr. Teller (who detected the error) depre- cated the attempt to “palm off” as a ree of Henry Clay’s remarks made by a different individual. THE PHRASE “PALM OFF” was objected to by Mr. Reagan, who asked Mr. Teller to withdraw it, but Mr. Teller declined to do so, as the Senator from Texas had charged republican Senators with not caring whether they violated the constitution or not, Mr. a Fa contented himself with remark- ing that he did not expect anything better from the Senator from Colorado, and he pro- ceeded with his‘ argument. MR. DAWES ASKS MR. REAGAN TO WITHDRAW HIS CHARGE. Mr. Dawes spoke of his long and friendly as- sociation with Mr. Reagan in the public ser- vice, and was not inclined now to “measure vituperation” with him, or to question the honesty of his convigtions. He (Mr. Dawes) had never charged the Senator with indiffer- ence to the constitution, notwithstanding the many strange and indefensible positions which he had taken, and yet that Senator had chi d (this morning) himself and the majority of the Senate with the ‘moral turpitude” of indif- ference whether they violated or not their oath to support the constitution. The Senator from Texas should either with- draw that charge before the Senate and the public, or else state the evidence on which he made it. MR. REAGAN DISCLAIMED ANY PERSONAL ALLUSION to any Senator, and especially to the Senator from Massachusetts, for whom he had always the greatest personal and political respect, Mr. Spooner read from the official report of Mr. Reagan’s remarks the words: “I suj it is a matter of indifference to them whether they violate the constitution or sustain it.” MR. REAGAN WITHDRAWS HIS REMARKS. Mr. Reagan—My purpose was not to impute improper motives individually, but to char- acterize the policy of the republican party. But I fear that, in doing so, I used not altogether justified; and, so far as m: lan; e may be liable to such construction, withdraw it. MR. CHANDLER EXPRESSED HIS REGRET that the finance committee had not excepted sugar-cane grown inthe United States from the proposed bounty—an industry which, ac- cording to the committee, had been making no P . Stewart suggested to Mr. Chandler to move to strike cane out of the amendment. Mr. Chandler declined to do so.

Terrebonne Times, rehearsing some of troubles, and reflecting on Mr. Gibson. Mr. Gibson controverted the statements made in the letter, and mentioned the fact that the colored people whom he had inherited were now working his plantation for their own benefit, without paying a sou of rent or a sou of taxes, He resented, as something which ns his understanding, the insinuation that colleague and himself did not represent the good le of Louisiana. He had never expected that any Senator would permit him- self to read a letter in the Senate which might be painful or wounding to the just sensibilities of one of his associates, WILLING TO WAIT. Mr. Chandler said that the general discussion of effairs in Louisiana might be well deferred until the resolution for the investigation of the election in Louisiana, of last April, was taken up. Fortunately, (ashe now understood) the Senator (Mr. Gibson) would make no objection to that investigation, but had offered a resolu- tion opening up the whole subject of the con- dition of suffrage. le welcomed the Senator to the ranks of those who believed that the Senate might investi- gate that subject and would (when the res- olution came up) move to amend it by striking out its limitation to the three states of Louis- iana, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, so that, through the medium of the investigation, the Senate couldfind out to what extent the suf- frage in the states of the Union was corrupted, and to what extent voters were INFLUENCED BY INTIMIDATION AND BY POLITICAL MURDER. Mr, Chandler went on to criticise some of the statements made yesterday by Mr. Morgan, as well as the general position of the democratic party on the tariff and other questions, Mr. Spooner favored the amendment and said that, while he did not approve of eve item in the bill, he was in favor of reducing the revenue on the lines of the bill—that was, on the line of protecting American industry, of increasing the demands for American labor, of building up the country, and of winning its complete independence. He admitted that he had been at first r RELUCTANT TO VOTE FOR THE SUGAR BOUNTY, not that he had any doubt of its constitution- ality. He had no such doubt, If he had he would not vote for it. And he said to the Sen- ator from Texas (Mr. Reagan) that not only was that Senator ‘not altogether justified” in the language he had used this morning, but was altogether unjustifiable in using it. Such language would come with ill grace from any Senator, but it came with particularly ill grace from a Senator who, having once taken an oath to support and defend the Constitntion, joined afterward with those who sought to destroy and overturn it. House of Representatives. Mr. Buchanan (N. J.) objected to the ap- proval of the journal, contending that it was incorrect in the statement that unanimous con- sent was yesterday granted to Mr. Springer (IL) to offer as a substitute for the Dakota bill his omnibus bill, with certain amendments, instead of House bill 8466, which, under the special order, he was permitted to offer. Mr. Cox (N.-¥.), who was in the chair yester- day when the proceedings occurred, ‘stated that he had submitted the request for unani- mous consent, and that it had been granted; and in this statement he was corroberated by Mr. Toole (Mon.) and Mr. Symes (Col.), Mr. Buchanan thereupon withdrew his ob- jection to the approval of the journal. THE CONSIDERATION OF THE TERRITORIAL BILLS was resumed, the pending question being on the Macdonald substitute for the Springer om- nibus bill, which itself is a substitute for the Senate Dakota bill. The House proceeded immediately to vote upon the Macdonald substitute, which has never been read, but which embodies the main features of the omnibus bill, except that it pro- vides for the immediate admission of South Dakota, The substitute was rejected—yeas, 117; nays, 122—Messrs. Macdonald and Tarsney being the only democrats joining in the solid republican vote in favor of the proposition. MR. SPRINGER’S AMENDMENT TO THE OMNIBUS BILL. Mr. Springer then’ offered an amendment to the omnibus bill, providing thatif a division of Dakota is authorized and a majority of all the cast at the election provided for in the act shall be in favor of the Sioux Falls consti- tution of 1885, it shall be the duty of the con- vention which may assemble at Sioux Falls to resubmic to the people of south Dakota, for ratification or rejection, the Sioux Falls con- stitution of 1885, and also the articles sepa- rately submitted at that time, including the selection of the temporary seat of government with such changes as relate to the name and boundaries of the proposed state, to the re- apportionment of the judicial and legislative + Etat Goering er legato meg may be necessary to comply with the provisions of this act. Mr. Springer demanded the previous ques- tion on the pending amendments and the thira reading of the bill. THE REPUBLICANS DEMANDED FURTHER TIME for debate, but Mr. Springer was obdurate until Mr. Symes (Col.) threatened that unless an hour was allowed for discussion the republi- ean side would resort to filibustering. Under this threat Mr. Springer signified his willing- ness to permit the debate to run for an hour. Mr. Randall (Pa.), however, came forward with an objection which he had based upon the fact that the territorial bill had monopo- lized the time of the House for the it week to the exclusion of the appropriation bills, Thereupon, THE EDICT OF A “DON’T VOTE” went forth upon the republican side, and as the edict was obeyed the House was left without a quorum. Mr. Springer then withdrew his demand for the previous question. Mr. Baker (N. Y.) made an appeal for the ees of the Senate bill for the admission of south Dakota, and faa the republican side to a cheerful consideration of enabling acts fo the other territories. Mr. Henderson (IIl.) regarded Mr. Springer’s amendment as tending to delay the admuis- sion of Dakota, and for this reason he opposed it. OBJECT OF THE AMENDMENT. Mr. Cox (N. Y.) said that the object of the amendment was to permit the people of South Dakota to decide for themselves whether they desired to ratify the Sioux Falls constitution.

He Decesn’t Want the Londoners to Give Phelps a Farewell Banquet. Special Cable Dispatch to Taz EvExixe STAR. Loxpoy,Jan.18.—A correspondent of the Stan- dard, presumably a friend of Lord Sackville’s, protests against the banquet to Minister Phelps because Phelps in his letter to Lord Salisbury declared that Sackville’s letter to Murchison was not intended to be private, which the writer considers an insulting attack on the late British representative at Washington. The impression prevails that Phelps had not seen Murchison’s letter promising secrecy when he wrote the dispatch. Phelps is paying a round of farewell visits. Yesterday he met a brilliant company at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Jeune, in Stimpole street, famous as a resort of statesmen of both political parties. ape LONDON’S NEW GOVERNMENT. To be Controlled by Men Pledged to Important Reforms. Special Cable Dispatch to Tar Eventne Star. Loxpox, Jan. 18.—Returns are at hand of the London county council election from upward of forty out of fifty-eight constituencies. These leave little doubt that the new body will con- tain a majority of members pledged to what is known as the progressive policy. One great feature of the elections is the rput of almost all the members of the discredited board of works. Even men belonging to that body who always stood out against jobbery and corrup- tion fared badly in almost every case at the hands of the electors, to whom the very name of the board of works is extremely repugnant. WHAT THE NEW GOVERNMENT MEANS. Broadly speaking, London's new government contains a majority pledged to advocate the control of the police by the ratepayers instead of by a central government: taxation on the ground of values; the abolition of coal and wine dues; the abolition of a separate munici- pality for the small area technically called the city of London; the equalization of rates; the prohibition of *sweating” contracts; the pay- ment of trades union rates of wages in connec- tion with official contracts; the provision of public baths, wash-houses, and municipal lodg- ing houses; improved housing of the poor, aud public control of food, gas, water, and convey- ances. The most of these subjects cannot be dealt with by the council, but its advocacy of any [epee bill affecting London will nat- urally have great weight with parliament, The socialists, yesterday. were rejected. ree (Rec HAYTIAN TREACHERY. What Looks Like a Deliberate Attempt to Sink the Haytian Republic. Port-av-Prixce, Harti, Jan. 3.—The steam- ship Haytien Republic was run into by the Haytian gunboat Nouvelle Voldrogue on the night of December 30, inflicting but slight | damage to either vessel. The Haytian gun- j boat was entering the harbor at full and could have steamed to anchorage without any change of course, but when within twenty yards of the Haytien Republic her helm was suddenly put to port, and remained so until she struck that vessel. Then her engines were reversed, and she backed toa distance of 200 yards, She then again steamed at full speed until a short distance from the steamer, when her course was slightly changed, thus just missing her, The gunboat was hailed both times, but no answer was made, neither did her captain attempt to ascertain the amount of | damage she had done or offer assistance. Af- ter ascertaining the damage done, the Galena sent an armed boat's crew to the offending gun- boat, where a statement was made that jam- ming of the tiller ropes was the cause of the collision. Itis the opinion that it wes a de- liberate attempt to sink the released ship, It isa question whether the scheme was inated by a higher authority than the capt of the gunboat. THE GALENA DEMANDS AN INVESTIGATION. A board of the Galena’s officers met the next day, and a demand for an investigation was made upon the Haytian government. These reports will be coasidered and redress de- manded upon the return of the Galena from Kingston, Jamaica, on January 9, where she steamed on January 1 to coal and communicate by cable with the American government. On December 31 Legitime offered to an in- demnity of $100,000 to the owners of the Hay- tien Republic. This will be accepted—one- ‘half payable immediately and the remainder in installments. The released steamer was then, at the request of Mr. B. L. Morse, the owner, turned over to him by Admiral Luce. A crew will be cabled for from Kingston, and she will return to New York about February 1 with a cargo of logwood. THE BLOCKADE REGARDED AS AT AN END. Admiral Luce has notified the Haytian gov- ernment that he considered the blockade of all the northern ports voluntarily raised because of the desertion of their post thereat by all the Haytian blockading squadron. He wrote to | Secretary Whitney that in the case of the ille- gal seizure of any other American vessels he would ‘demand their release at the cannon’s mouth.” HYPPOLITE AWAITING LEGITIME’S DOWNFALL.

Mr. Voigt was cashier of the bank for nineteen years, April he resigned to go into other business. and in September the bank failed, a heavy shortage having been discovered. After the # ion an expert was put to work on the Dome, ont the arrest, it is alleged, was made on information received from him. On Tuesday President Sorg and Hugh Lafferty and John Nusser, directors of the defunct institu- tion, went before Alderman Schaffer and pre- ferred four charges against Voigt of EMBEZZLEMENT, PERJURY AND FPALSIPYING A0- COUNTS. The matter was kept quiet until last evening, when Voigt was arrested and placed in jail at midnight in default of $40,000 bail. President Sorg stated toa reporter that at the time of the failure he felt certain the great discrep- ancy between the individual and general ~ a ers, showing a deficit of over €200.000, indi- cated criminalty, but he was unwilling to mak any charges until the experts had gone over the books, The investigation bas not yet been completed, but he felt the discoveries made by the expert fully warranted the arrest of the ier. VOIGT NEGLECTS A CHANCE TO SAVE HIMSELP, Mr. Sorg also said that it had been known for some time to the officers of the bank that the deficit rested with Mr. Voigt. He was given opportunity to make it good, but when the stockholders found that he did not intend to, and that they must go down in their own pock- ets to meet the loss, they decided on this ac- tion. They found also that Mr. Voigt's means were in such a shape that they could not be reached by law, and it was decided to pro- ceed with the arrest.

NO GENERAL DESTITUTION. The Stories from Walsh County, Dak., Greatly Exaggerated. Pank River, Dax., Jan. 18.—In regard to the destitution existing in Walsh county, among the farmers, Lieut. Roudlez says that he vis- ited the region with County Commissioners Nicholson and Levany. He says further: “With the exception of a few individual cases, I found no general destitution or distress. The majority of farmers are hard up, and should be assisted in procuring seed wheat. houses we visited, some fifty or more in number, were found to be warm and as comfortable as could be expected in a country where the settlers are new-comers, and generally start farming with- out money or means of making a living, e: their good health and strength. The we met were warmly clad, and lived as com- fortably in their houses as their nationality generaily do, and certainly much better thap these same people live in their own country."
